the stern line should go ashore around a tree and back to the boat then you can release it with out going ashore G

cribbage is not for just old people im 83 have played crib for over 60 years geeeeez boated the PNW for over 70years G

I think you will look back at these videos and be happy you documented the adventure...that being said...I'll stick with a backpack and snorkel 😅. Even a surfboard is too much work to travel with anymore for me.

Glad you got the drone back, and rescued your sailing underway clips! Too risky for me. Keep up the fun vids-looking forward to the next one!

I lived on “G” Dock at Sidney Marina, thanks for the memories. I sailed away in 2015 never to return, not because I didn’t love it there as I did love it but sailing around the world seemed move adventurous. Currently in Thailand. Cheers I produced a UA-cam Channel back in the day Off the Starboard Hull

Christophe and Cameo here(Black boat at 9:46) it was good meeting you at the pub that day. You’re really doing the miles. Good on you….

Love your channel so far, look forward to your future adventures.

Hint. Keep a real close eye on your keel bolts as they tend to work lose. Also, next time you haul out, use the Copper coat process. Yes, spendy up front, yet you will not have to do it again for at least 5-10 years. Just dive the boat and keep the green off. 😊😊

When trying to catch your drone at sea, switch your controller to sport mode just before trying to catch it. That will over-ride virtually all your safety sensors and you can catch it by hand. Obviously, do that from underneath. Once you have it, simple flip it upside down and the props will stop.

Great video!! Looking forward to seeing you guys in a few months😎⛵️

I’m consistently blown away by how beautiful it is there! Those crabs were huge I bet they were delicious!

Thanks for the video. There are so many anchorages still to explore. Montague would be great early in the year when it should be relatively easy to get a mooring ball or dock space compared to the height of summer when it is more busy. I believe running the diesel at low rpm for long periods can lead to carbon build up. They tend to like to be worked.

How did we get "salty" but Adel looks the same as 30 years ago? Love the videos makes me not feel 3000 miles away.

Cribbage is definitely an old people thing😂😂😂 JK it’s a great game! You guys are killing it! The drone footage is sweet too.

I know this boat, she is a beauty but the 2 amazing humans sailing it are phenomenal and we can’t wait to spend some time with all 3 of you soon🥰

Really good stuff and good on you. We have a Sun Odyssey 40 (2003) and sail/race in Commencement Bay (Tacoma) and take a summer cruise north, spending most of our time in the Gulf Islands. Your LaConner bridge experience has been shared MANY times...I know my math and it is still very exciting. Looking forward to more of your adventures. Dave Stromquist S/V Stardust.

Beautiful boat in a beautiful area. Please share all your newby adventures as you become seasoned seasalts as well as your refits. Looking forward to future episodes

My parents taught me how to play cribbage at around 8 yrs of age. Now I play it on the computor without the need for cards.I always count my hand as well as my oponents hand .Keeps one mentally allert.

Thank you for a trip through nostalgia. I spent 4 years, mostly single handing in the same waters and "practicing my anchoring/mooring skills. I learned the hard way that I was almost always better off grabbing a can from the cockpit, using two lines, each with anti chafing material at the can and doing my best to avoid a stern tie. Ended up well into Alaska with memories that I will cherish for life. Watching you navigate the same experiences I had makes me smile. Have fun!

Enjoying your content very much. How about a boat tour?

Hey like you guys, looking forward to seeing more content. Jim

It looks amazing there! Great video I love how clean and clear the water is 😍

Hi, hope to see a lot more content. Thanks jim

Nicely done. We can relate to much of what you experienced with the mooring and the stern tie. We hope to head down to the gulf islands this summer for a change, after three summers in Desolation. We often do weekends at Plumper Cove Marine park and the moorings there are similar. Sometimes we will back into them, put the dock line through, and then just walk it to the bow cleats. Enjoyed your video.

Hey guys, congrats on your crossing! No question those buoys can be a challenge when it comes to hooking up. Like everything else surrounding cruising it will get easier with practice. On another topic, I take it you are flying a small drone? Under 250g? Please be mindful of areas like Newcastle which is technically an airport. Sea planes in and out if you are not a licensed drone pilot I would encourage you to check out the Canadian Drone Pilot Association for details and links to transport Canada drone flight rules. No question drones provide a unique opportunity to film (I use one a lot) but paying attention to where you fly is paramount. Anyway really enjoying your travels out on the water, looking forward to your next vid!

Drone footage taken in a water aerodrome.... forbidden within 3NM of the centre of such aerodrome. (Or 1NM from the heliport nearby, which also probably applies from the looks of the anchorage).

Thank you for a great video. These are my home waters too. I wish you’d post more videos, I can really identify. Cheers. 👍🏻

I normally pick up mooring balls while single handing; and the only way to catch them is off the stern and then either walk the line forward in low winds, or in more wind tie a long line from the bow and disconnect from the stern to let the boat fall off. Then motor towards the ball while shortening the bow line or use the windlass post to pull the boat close to the ball. It keeps the boat in control at all times.

Nice boat, have a good time out there.

Dangler... lol.

Hey guys enjoyed the video! Familiar places… Dodd Narrows and Pirates Cove. Nice to show the challenges and how you guys deal with them. Keep the vids coming! 👍🏻👍🏻

Great videography and lovely area

The Newcastle buoys are definitely not lift-able. That is a lesson we have seen many cruisers learn the first time in. More than once we have run over in the dingy to help get a line on. Other buoys like Montague and Bedwell harbour can be lifted. At Newcastle if the conditions allow we pick up the mooring at our stern where it is easier to reach, get a line on it and walk it forward. Then you are off for a stern tie at Pirates, I guess you enjoy a challenge. For there we have about 300' of (I think) 3/8ths poly. We drop the hook and then I hop in the dinghy and run an end to a ring and then back to the boat where I can tie off and make adjustments. We haven't perfected the maneuver and I am glad we didn't have our last tie up on video as we may have had to censor my wife's language some.

Great video! Terry and I have been there trying to get a mooring ball.! Can''t wait to see you out there one day soon. Kevin & Terry , Occasio

Welcome back! I certainly understand the editing time requirements…it takes me forever too…lol. I’m your newest subscriber.

You channel is off to a great start! Nicely done. Enjoyed the episode. Look forward to more. I think we were anchored next to you guys in Rebecca Spit in Aug 2022. Our channel is @barloventosailing. Hope to see you on the water.

What an adventure! So cool and thank you for sharing. Your videos make sailing look so peaceful but it’s also a lot of work. Have you ever taken time to appreciate what it would have been like hundreds of years ago when they would sail the seas with no comforts of today? Serious bravery and skill. Keep the videos coming. This land lovers enjoys watching from my comfy warm and dry couch.

These videos make me so happy, even though they’re a year old it makes me feel connected to you guys again. I so hope that I can make my plans work and come see y’all and Rich next year.

Aha...the mystery is now solved! I never could find out who fixed my mooring lines. Thank you so very much. The "lockdowns" made it impossible to tend to everything )-: Keep up the great work with your vids.

Awesome video guys, so hardy for winter sailing!

Great video guys! Quite the cold passage to get north. Nice touch at the end to get us all up to date. Looking forward to some buddy boating this summer!

Love it. Sounds like Red Green takes up sailing. Keep going guys.

Nice to see local sailors put out videos. I'm in New Westminster.

Can’t wait to see more adventures

Good to see your latest content! Hopefully will see you soon a CHM.

Yes guys the is the giids

Enjoyed seeing local sailors putting some stuff out. Hoping for lots more! (also in Vancouver)

Bravo!!! Take the leap and get on board

Would love to hear how the winter went. We will be onboard full time this winter in the San Juans. Any tips or antidotes would be appreciated.

That boat is a beaut, but you guys are crazy! At least with motorcycles, when it snows, you have an excuse not to go out on them. Nice work finding that fuse there Christopher!
